Joe Biden said that the U.S. and its allies are unleashing a new set of sanctions against Russia following the invasion of Ukraine, insisting that the economic punishment “exceed anything that’s ever been done.”
“This aggression cannot go unanswered,” Biden said in his speech from the White House, his first public remarks since Vladimir Putin ordered military action on Russia’s neighbor.
Biden said that Russian banks, holding around $1 trillion in assets, have been sanctioned, including the country’s largest bank.
“That means that every asset that they have will be frozen,” he said.
Biden said that Putin, in his speech earlier on Thursday, showed that his motive for the invasion was not about protecting Russia’s security.
“He has much larger ambitions than Ukraine. He wants to reestablish the former Soviet Union. That’s what this is all about,” Biden said.
